  He nodded. I’d been expecting this. And truthfully, ready for it for a while.

  “Okay, but where is home?”

  We’d left New York and had Gwen in Ireland, where Sinead got to be a grandmother and help us through those sleepless first few months. And then we’d gone to Greece and been floating among the islands for six months.

  “Back to New York,” he said. “You miss your sister.”

  Zilla had come to visit us. In Ireland when Gwen was born and then again when we picked her up in Athens and took her to Santorini before I was pregnant again. It had been too long and he was right.

  “I do,” I said. “And you miss Niamh.”

  He smiled.

  He and Niamh and Gwen had almost daily FaceTime calls. He told me about the son she’d left behind and I hoped that Gwen could be a balm on her soul.

  “Aye.”

  Life in our little cocoon was fun but there was a wider world out there. A wider family and I’d found myself missing not just Zilla. And Haley who I’d gotten to know better. But I missed Niamh. Raj. Even Caroline a little bit, which probably wasn’t healthy, but family was family even if they were bad.

  And Ronan was a man who needed to be of use.

  “I think I’d like to go to work for Leo. He keeps offering me that job.”

  I nodded, stroked our daughter’s hair.

  “I thought I didn’t care about being a Morelli, but Gwen, the babe in your belly, I want them to know family. Cousins and aunts and uncles. We’ll keep them safe from the bad ones and let them be loved by the good ones.”

  I liked the sound of that. The big family I’d dreamed of.

  I held out my hand to him and Ronan curled up on the cushions with me and our daughter. We’d cobbled together a kind of happiness I never thought I’d have. It was dense and deep and never-ending. It was safe and sure.

  “All right, then. Let’s go home.”

  And Tiernan Morelli has a book coming out…

  He arrives all dressed in black. Diamond cufflinks. A watch on his tanned wrist that cost more than we would ever see in a lifetime of work. He carries a single red rose for my mother.

  Months later, Tiernan Morelli lays red roses on my mother’s grave. That same day, he tells me that he is my new guardian.

  I should have known from the very start that he had more in common with the thorns than the rose. Now I know the truth: I’m a pawn in his dangerous game of revenge. I was too young and naive. Now it’s too late to save myself from his clutches.

  Now I belong to him.

  About the Author

  Molly O’Keefe has always known she wanted to be a writer (except when she wanted to be a florist or a chef and the brief period of time when she considered being a cowgirl). And once she got her hands on some romances, she knew exactly what she wanted to write.

  She published her first Harlequin romance at age 25 and hasn’t looked back. She loves exploring every character’s road towards happily ever after.

  Originally from a small town outside of Chicago, she went to university in St. Louis where she met and fell in love with the editor of her school newspaper. They followed each other around the world for several years and finally got married and settled down in Toronto, Ontario. They welcomed their son into their family in 2006, and their daughter in 2008. When she’s not at the park or cleaning up the toy room, Molly is working hard on her next novel, trying to exercise, stalking Tina Fey on the internet and dreaming of the day she can finish a cup of coffee without interruption.
